The mighty medieval Bothwell Castle, built on a bluff above a bend in the River Clyde. Construction began in the latter half of the 1200s but invasion and repeated siege meant that the original design of the castle was never completed.

Cumbernauld village in North Lanarkshire, quite different from the usual image people have of Cumbernauld, one of five new towns developed across Scotland in the 1950s and 60s. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/cumbernauld/cumbernauld/index.html

Further to the #NorthLanarkshire #warmspace drop in places (& since the winter nip in the air has finally arrived) I’ve actually managed to find a page that’ll point folk to their nearest place.

#free tea and coffee and somewhere to bide a while that’s warm.

I would warn anyone to check the opening hours before they go though as some sites aren’t open every day.

Loads of public buildings in #NorthLanarkshire are now officially designated as #WarmSpace drop-ins so unlimited free tea/coffee, plenty of seating. Sure it’s not cold enough yet, but there is no advertising of this free provision whatsoever. Nothing on the Council website, social media… nada. Uptake is limited to folk who already use the buildings.
Hoping this isn’t just an empty gesture that won’t keep up with demand when it’s really needed. #costofliving #energycrisis
